S1E13 - Climate Change

2019-08-26

This week Ilan Kelman joins us to talk about climate change and the link to disaster risk. Ilan is a Reader in Risk, Resilience and Global Health at UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction and UCL Institute for Global Health, UK, and a researcher at the University of Agder, Norway. We discuss whether climate change is to blame for disasters, and how we should talk about the issue. As is the case in many of our conversations so far, we discuss how disasters are not natural and why language and communication is so important. Follow us
